MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Troy Brown, City Manager
DATE: 07/17/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Strategies, Goals and Objectives for Fiscal Years 2019/20
and 2020/21
BACKGROUND
On May 9, 2019, the City Council held a Special meeting for the purpose of conducting
a City Council retreat to evaluate the City’s strategies, goals and objectives for the next
two fiscal years. At the May 9 retreat, the City Council was asked to create strategies
and objectives for Fiscal Years 2019/20 and 2020/21 to implement a strategic approach
toward goal setting in order to achieve sustained progress toward the City of Moorpark
Mission Statement, which is: “Striving to preserve and improve the quality of life in
Moorpark”.
A copy of the draft list of Strategies and Objectives that were developed at the May 9
meeting is included as Attachment 1 to this report. The May 9 Special meeting agenda
report provides a detailed explanation of the strategic planning process that was
implemented at the City Council retreat, and which produced the Draft List of Strategies
and Objectives that is included as Attachment 1.
Consistent with the City Council direction, we have made additional progress since the
May 9 Special meeting in further refining the Strategies, Goals and Objectives to be
adopted for the next two fiscal years. We have renamed the Objectives drafted on May
9 (Attachment 1) to Goals, and have now included more specific Objectives and Tasks.
The updated Strategies, Goals, and Objectives that are included as Attachment 2 to this
report reflects feedback from City Council input, community feedback from the recent
survey, staff input, as well as comments from the Joint meetings of the City Council and
its Commissions. The new language for Objectives and Tasks in Attachment 2 is
shown in red. The new format does not remove any of the City Council’s previous
Item: 9.A.

priorities, which is included as Attachment 3 (Fiscal Years 2017/18 and 2018/19
adopted Priorities, Goals and Objectives).
The Strategies, Goals, and Objectives that are recommended for adoption for Fiscal
Years 2019/20 and 2020/21 (Attachment 2) provide a more strategic pathway for the
community and the organization in understanding the overall direction the City is moving
in. Changing the format from a Priority format to a Strategy format provides a greater
connection of the work of the organization to the overarching Mission of the City, as
each of the proposed Strategies support the Mission of the City.
Each of the Objectives is tied to specific tasks that are measurable in the City’s short-
term action plan. As in prior years, it is generally acknowledged that with current staff
levels, there are more Objectives listed than can be reasonably expected to be
accomplished in the two years. In fact, many of the Objectives will take several years to
fully complete.
The status of the Objectives and tasks will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the
Council and with the three Commissions and Library Board at Joint meetings each
spring, and prior to budget deliberations in May.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Strategies, Goals, and Objectives for Fiscal Years 2019/20 and 2020/21
are intended to be consistent with the City’s budgeting priorities; therefore, no fiscal
impact is expected, since the intent is that money will be budgeted for each fiscal year
that is consistent with the adopted Strategies, Goals, and Objectives.
